As a tool for selecting particular games or types of games the "founders" category seems not as useful as other categories.

I can imagine they keep it there as a way of saying "so above you have these useful categories containing all our games, but wait, let us show you how it all started and who were there". Like a museum or historical reference.

So I won't go out on the streets shouting "that category should be removed" but I also will not cry (not for very long at least) if it were removed, for instance to make the interface more compact.

I think it is suppose to be a way to feature and promote them but I think they could still do that and do it better with what I already suggested.

I do like the idea of having a playlist that's decided monthly by OUYA Forums but that's pretty much what the o-rank is, but on a slightly larger scale. If anything I think they should do a "[name of OUYA gamer]'s playlist". Sort of like what they are already doing with "important" people (I guess most of them are devs?) but at the same time include us mortals. But I wouldn't mind that section going completely in favor of an even more tidy interface.

A bit off topic, but related:
Oh, and by the way, in PLAY (this time I won't mention my long time dream of having custom folders in it, except now I did... and... yeah), I would love to see both a Favorites AND a Want to buy. Right now I'm using favorites to remind me of older games I love that I'm not playing as much anymore, so even if they won't show up in the first section (recently played) they do show. But I have been marking a few games I haven't bought yet as favorites as well to remember them. And that is a bit... messy. So, what I would like is something like this:

RECENTLY PLAYED
[GAME] [GAME] [GAME]

FAVORITES
[GAME] [GAME] [GAME]

WANT TO BUY
[GAME] [GAME] [GAME]

And then of course keep the "recently downloaded" and "bought" and that jazz. They are really useful.

...

And I would also like if every PLAY section also had a "Starfighter's seal of approval" playlist. Because I know what's best for every gamer.
